Setup errors analysis in iterative kV CBCT: A clinical study of cervical cancer treated with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy
Data analysis underscores the importance of precise Y-axis setup for cervical cancer patients undergoing VMAT. Radiotherapy centers without daily iCBCT should appropriately extend the planning target volume (PTV) along the Y-axis for cervical cancer patients receiving pelvic VMAT. Elderly patients exhibit significantly larger setup errors compared to younger counterparts. In conclusion, iCBCT-guided radiotherapy is recommended for cervical cancer patients undergoing VMAT to improve setup precision.
